Teampall na Déirce graveyard
is 10 yards southeast of the Tubber-Ruan road (GPS coordinates N52.97475,
W008.91127; Irish OS map square R 91908 38833) in the townland of Shanballysallagh,
Kilkeedy Parish. The 1915 OS map (above) shows the graveyard with the
ruins of the church at its north end. The gravestones face the east
("...that they may face the rising sun....").There is no official
register of graves and burials have not been systematically recorded.
Clare County Council is not administratively responsible for the graveyard.
Until recently access to the graveyard was over a field but a small
car park is now being built so as to allow easier access for hearses
and corpses.

The photos which are the basis of these
transcriptions were taken 13-17 July 2007.

A flat and well-worn slab a little to the
north of the Holmes grave. No other inscription is visible and it is not
clear to whom this monument was dedicated. One almost wonders whether Patrick
McGrath died before completing the dedication.

Mihall Regan

The Tithe records list a Michael Regan of
Knockatignus in the parish of Inchicronan. The name Mihall Regan is not
visible in the photo as it is somewhat below ground level. There is no visible
record of the names of the father, brother and sister to whom the stone
is dedicated.
